Ravichandran Ashwin

Virat Kohli lauded Ravichandran Ashwin for showing calmness and displaying his presence of mind in the final over clash against Pakistan.

That was a very brave thing to do, he came inside the line and the ball turned out to be a wide. It is safe to say that the scenario was quite tense when Ashwin came onto the crease to bat. However, what followed was a last-over drama wherein Mohammad Nawaz picked up the wickets of Hardik and Dinesh Karthik alongside a ‘controversial’ no-ball to Virat Kohli.

Days have passed, and yet people are still thinking about that epic thrilling match between Pakistan and India in the T20 World Cup.

It was perhaps one of my longest walks to the centre of the ground, that’s what I felt. Dude, I have just come and so freezing out here.” This is what I thought to myself. But I calmly thought to myself, “You can do it by hitting in all the areas, but how can I? Won’t God allow me to chip over the infield in some vacant area? From 45/4, I thought that the only way to win the game was if Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli scored 60 runs each. Rahul Dravid was sitting in front of me and I never moved an inch from where I was sitting. And I was assuming that if the situation came, I would do my bit with the bat and take the team through. Now, (I thought to myself) no one will throw stones at my home! How can I say this to a guy who is battling like a possessed man. And for that type of epic game of cricket to happen, you need your opposition to bring their A-game. They batted first and put up 158 on the scoreboard. And in the 10th over, we were 45/4.
